Cory Stockton (WoW's Lead Content Designer) stated on twitter that this will indeed be one of the new mounts awarded by the new factions in 5.1. There are new mounts coming for both Horde and alliance in the form of Grand Armored GryphonGrand Armored Wyvern, there are also datamined models without armor for both of these that are rewarded from the new quests in 5.1 that take place in Krasarang Wilds.

Two things you should know! You get the normal Grand Gryphon from competing the last quest chain at Exalted and the price for the Armored one at Exaulted is 1,800g with guild perk Just an FYI

I know this is going to get downrated, but:

Meh. We waited years for some reskins and this is what they come up with? Why bother?

Grand Armored Gryphon can be seen as an Ultimate reward for serving the alliance during your service to Opperation Shieldwall, Like it was given by King Varian Wrynn himself. This is to be expected after all you as the player went through.

The Previous version can also be obtained, and by finishing the final Quest in the Shield wall story line, The Silence wherein Anduin is critically injured, you receive the Grand Gryphon as a reward. Which is appropriate as it can be seen as given by Anduin, being the younger lesser form. Upon completion most players reach exalted and can then get Grand Armored Gryphon, which is appropriate as you are now viewed in high regard by the King.

Grand Armored Gryphon and Grand Gryphon are also gryphon's in their own class, totally unique when compared to the rest. They are reskinned and Have an almost Cartoonish look to them, the only ones so far. Also their Wingspan Is far greater then that of normal Gryphon's. This is a definite must have mount!

- You must be exalted with Opperation: Shieldwall.- You must Have 2000 Gold, or 1800 gold with .

And while the Shieldwall saga now ends....the war is far from finished. If you followed the story you would have noticed Jaina's rage. And so next we will move on to serve the Kirin'tor in the battle against the Sunreavers on the isle of Thunder,And get our hands on the Dire Horn, and Dinosaur mounts...

I really love the new skin. The extended wings really make a difference. Easily the best mount in game (imho). Looking forward to more reskins in the future.

You can purchase this mount, Grand Armored Gryphon, from Agent Malley for 1,800 gold once you reach exalted with the Operation: Shieldwall. It can be used as a ground mount or a flying mount. It is available to Alliance characters only. The Horde version is Grand Armored Wyvern. Interestingly, if you get this mount on one of your Alliance characters you will automatically have the Horde version available to any Horde characters on the same account.
